Table explanation

The government charges several taxes and fees to support and finance environmental policy. This table presents an overview of the revenues of the environmental taxes and fees, classified in four categories: energy, transport, pollution and natural resources.
The revenues of environmental taxes and fees can be attributed by taxpayer, distinguishing private households, industries and non-residents.
The above mentioned revenues of environmental taxes and fees are presented in the following variables:

- value in current prices, million euros.

The table is part of the environmental accounts. The environmental accounts quantify the relationship between economy and environment. In order to arrive at a consistent statistical description of this relationship, the environmental accounts are in line with the classifications, definitions and revision strategy of the environmental accounts. As a result, environmental figures from the environmental accounts deviate in a number of cases from the environmental figures elsewhere on the CBS website, and in some cases, from the national accounts themselves.

Data available from: 1995

Status of the figures:
Figures for 2024 are provisional, the reporting years 1995-2023 are final.

Changes as of February 2026:
The data itself has not changed, but the English and Dutch tables have been made consistent. The tax payer sector "55 Accommodation" and "56 Food and beverage service" have been removed from the selection menu. These activities contained no data, as this level of detail is not available.

When will new figures be published?
New figures are published annually around November.
